This is a fantastic example of applying deception strategies in practice as part of a detection & response plan. The most common use case is as a canary, but it absolutely works as evidence of compromise, too.
I won't comment on the specifics of the case (the complaint comes across as very convincing), but I will remind people that it's common for investigations to ostensibly show an employee doing bad things, when in reality it's e.g. that employee's credentials/devices that are compromised.
